Miracle Fruit

Has anyone grown Miracle Fruit? ,

ive got a couple of plants coming in the post and even though i can find some info on the net, im wondering how long they take to form fruit, from when they flower? and if anyones had any fruit from one in the UK, if so what conditions they were grown in?

Im still waiting for the plants, but at the same time i bought a pack of seeds, i got them a few days ago, and there now busy germinating, will be a good few years before they fruit though (if they germinate)

I soaked them in gibberelic acid ( ga3 ) o incease the chance of germination, the seeds seem green inside and look to be likely to germinate

I have them all in a takeaway plastc tub, packed in coconut husk and erricacious compost 50/50 , sprayed with GA3 , there on a heated mat to keep them warm





No sign of germination at all, but they can take months!, thats why im doing 100 of them!

I got the plants today, there was a dead flower on one of them so they must be old enough to flower, suposed to be 3-4 year old rooted cuttings, there suposed to be 18 inch high, but the largest is 36 inch, there in chopped down flower buckets, about 5 inch high to reduce the amount of compst to let air in and make them dy quicker to stop root rot

They came without pots, so i potted them in CHC (coconut husk chips) and misted them well with water, ive had them in the growroom, behind the tomatoes as they dont like direct sun, and i have the humidifyer next to them making it very warm and damp, they seem to like it and there starting to look like there alive, and straightening out a bit from packing/posting
